Product Portfolio

MODULAR AXIS AND GANTRY SYSTEM

Thanks to the modularity of the components, they can easily be used as a
single-axis system or combined to create multi-axis systems. The basic unit
of the systems is made up of linear axes with moveable carriages to which
further axes, grippers or rotation units can be attached. This provides the
greatest possible degree of flexibility depending on the design required.
This makes it possible to find the best solution for particularly heavy
loads, long travel distances, or small workspaces, for example, depending on
the requirements.

The modular FLT axis and gantry system therefore provides the perfect basis
for applications relating to loading and unloading machines, processing
centres and parts transfer as well as transporting fixtures, tools and
processing systems, etc., within the fields of production and logistics.

LVA
LINEAR VERTICAL AXIS

The linear vertical axis LVA is used as a stationary
lifting device for workpieces or as an additional axis to increase
flexibility in assembly and production. It allows a stroke of up to approx.
3 m and, with its aluminium and steel axes, can take a transport load of up
to 1500 kg. Its components mean that the axis is not just flexible – it also
enables exact positioning and the transmission of large forces.

LHA
LINEAR HORIZONTAL AXIS

With a maximum total axis length of more than 100 m and a
stroke of up to 40 m per carriage, the linear horizontal axis LHA is ideal
for transporting and handling fixtures. It can be integrated into systems as
an additional axis, is suitable for attaching further axes or can be used as
the seventh axis for robots. It can also be mounted. Its flexibility,
strength and accuracy set this axis apart. With its aluminium and steel
axes, the LHA is able to take a transport load of up to 1600 kg.

LFA
LINEAR FLOOR AXIS

The linear floor axis LFA is ideal as a seventh axis for
robots or for transporting fixtures using floor positioning units. Its
strength, accuracy and flexibility set it apart. This is primarily down to
its stroke of up to 40 m per carriage and a possible total length of max.
100 m. Its maximum transport load of up to 6000 kg is possible due to the
aluminium and steel axes. The LFA is also available in a separate drive
module and transport carriage version.

LGR
LINEAR GANTRY ROBOT

With its two axes, the linear gantry robot LGR is ideal
for loading and unloading machines and fixtures, as well as handling
components between different stations. The system, made up of aluminium and
steel axes, can transport loads of up to 1500 kg and has a stroke of up to
40 m per carriage. The total length of the robot axis is up to 100 m.

AGR
AREA GANTRY ROBOT

With its three axes, the area gantry robot AGR is ideal
for covering large working areas, particularly in intralogistics and for
loading large machines. This is primarily down to the potential span of
approx. 12 m and stroke of up to 60 m. The maximum transport load of the
axes is 3000 kg.

AGC
AREA GANTRY CANTILEVER

The area gantry cantilever AGC is ideal for handling and
transporting workpieces and pallets in a compact installation space. The AGC
provides a stroke of up to 40 m for cross arms of up to approx. 3 m. The
system, made up of aluminium and steel axes, can transport loads of up to
600 kg.

LINKED SYSTEMS

Thanks to intelligent system interlinking, FLT connects different processes and machining stages of workpieces. This means that output can be increased, quality raised, capacities adjusted fl exibly and the level of automation expanded. In the technology-based interlinking of individual production process stages, FLT utilizes its product, solutions and process expertise to confi gure the individual requirements of the relevant applications by optimally combining all individual modules and system components to create a complete plant.

Here customers profi t from a wide range of services from a company that is able to offer both individual components and turnkey plants.

PROCESS CELLS

Virtually all sectors of industry demand custom solutions for creating
automated processes using robot technology. FLT responds to these demands in
production with process cells. These have a modular design with space-saving
configuration options and offer flexible solutions for assembly processes.

Optimum solutions for complex conceptual formulations can be created via
custom programming. The different process sequences are interlinked via the
processing stations.

The FLT process cells can be used as flexible standalone cells or integrated
into an inline system.

COMPONENTSTS

STANDARDIZED MODULES FOR INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS

For automation we offer carefully conceived, individually designable module solutions in
a wide variety of industries. Transport and logistics, as well as installation and handling
are the most important areas of application.
Our modules for translation, rotation and gripping can be used as individual modules
or combined in a wide variety of ways with a host of devices and systems—from simple
pick-&-place units to multi-axis robots. The modules are available either with or without
electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic installation.

ROTATION MODULES

Our high-performance rotation modules for pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical applications
offer a high level of quality. The electrical modules are normally driven by servo
motors, achieving high performance levels with high acceleration and speed with optimum
positioning accuracy. The pneumatic rotation modules offer a compact, integrated
damping system that permits optimum end position damping to be achieved with a short
cycle time in just a few steps.

GRIPPERS

Our standard range of grippers on parallel and angle grippers is comprehensive and features high product quality and precision. The optimally graded series include sizes to cover a wide spectrum for transporting workpieces with weights of up to 440 kg. For rapid tool changeover we also offer you a pivoting twin gripper with two integrated gripper modules in an angled layout, combined with a rotation module with rotary guide.

LINEAR MODULES

We offer you compact modules with different performance levels such as short-stroke modules and translation modules for loading and unloading machine and for use in assembly areas as well as linear axes. These are driven either hydraulically and pneumatically via a cylinder with end position damping or electrically via servo motors. This design ensures optimum speed and positioning accuracy.
